England is scheduled to begin an exciting five-match Test series in India on January 25. To ensure that the English players receive nutritious food, Manchester United's chef, Omar Mezian, will be with the team.

This is not the first time that Meziyan has been associated with the England team. He previously accompanied him during his tour to Pakistan in December 2022, where his culinary expertise was highly appreciated.

"England will take its chef on a tour to India later this month in a bid to prevent players falling ill during the seven-week trip," The Telegraph said in a report. Will join the team in Hyderabad ahead of the first Test."
